Sedation

For some of the listed procedures in some cats, sedation may be required. This is always in your cat’s best interests – if they are getting upset by what we do, it can be better to sedate them than manually restrain them. We will always select the safest form of sedation for your cat and will always consider any conditions they may have, such as kidney or heart disease. Oxygen can be provided, and your cat will be closely monitored throughout the procedure by our veterinary nurse.

What we cannot do at your home

There is a limit to what we can safely do in your house. If your cat requires any of the following procedures, we can arrange to collect and transport your cat to one of our associated practices. When it’s time to go home, we will bring them back to you.

X-rays
Surgical procedures other than the minor procedures listed above
Dentistry
Hospitalisation for fluid therapy and/or supportive care

For certain procedures, Vet2Cat may recommend a different veterinary surgeon, either another general practitioner vet or a specialist. You will be guided through this process by the staff of Vet2Cat.
